Google survey asks about the Thermometer app on Pixel 10 Pro

Pixel 10 Pro users today might have received a survey from Google to help improve the thermometer.

Sent by “Google Pixel,” the company is specifically asking about Body Temperature Sensing. The survey will “help Google understand how the Pixel Thermometer Application (Thermometer app) is used in the real world.”

Google wants to better “understand the Body Temperature Sensor (BTS)’s real-world performance, and may share it with regulatory authorities to comply with Google’s post-market surveillance obligations for this medical device.”

It starts by asking whether you’ve used the Thermometer to measure body temperature in the past year. We’ve replicated the “how often” question below:

I wish I could find more use for it but I just never understood Google's thought process here with the Thermometer, like did they have a panel where they pitched this idea to and they all said yeah I would love a Thermometer built into my phone?

Now if they had continue maturing Soli from the Pixel 4, that had a lot of potential but I have absolutely zero use for a Thermometer I can carry around with me throughout my day.

This rather in-depth survey asks whether the information has been valuable and how easy it is to use. Of note is a question about “how many measurements do you usually take to be confident in the result”: 1, 2, 3-4, or 5+.

Google also asks whether you’ve seen any error messages and about the Fitbit integration, with open fields for feedback about how the data is shown and what you like most/least about the overall experience. 

The Thermometer has been around for three generations since the Pixel 8 Pro at this point. For Google, its continued inclusion feels rather noteworthy, though these phones do have long development periods.
